In case you don't remember or weren't around back in December of last year, here's a reminder.

Now, take a look at this thread.

Looks like cuda takes the prize with a June 24, 2003 entry, wouldn't you say?

Can I still have my autographed picture of Joy??

Plus Cuda didn't put a year if anyone wants to protest!

Wins a prize for what? Just a bunch of pics of Too Olds Cig on that thread....

Read the first thread, then notice the subject of the second thread. Here's the Reader's Digest version - Too Old had made some noise about "keeping the Cigarette" blah blah blah. None of us with any experience with him and his boat sickness believed a word of it.

Thus, the pool on when he would sell it. Which brings us to the second thread, located in the "Boats for Sale" forum.

And IIRC, the Mistress has never been wet.

Ah Von Bongo, clutching at straws now!! The default setting for the year is automatically the next year with the same date unless otherwise specified!

Where's my prize??? Don't I at least get a cigar, like when a baby is born?

I actually remember looking back and seeing how long a project is at Too Old's before it is shipped to a home for the pristine, dry of course, then applying Cuda's algorithm of converging and diverging boats.

Damn! Looks like I was off by a whole two months!

I'd go by the date that you first posted about the selling the boat.

I agree with Cord.

So what is the next boat for Too Old????

Perhaps something like this?
